Weiss, who took charge after <strong data-start=\"216\" data-end=\"233\">David Ellison<\/strong> acquired CBS, has begun a broad restructuring of the newsroom, demanding detailed staff memos ahead of expected layoffs and taking a direct hand in booking and coverage decisions. Among her initiatives was a planned feature involving her sister, <strong data-start=\"480\" data-end=\"494\">Suzy Weiss<\/strong>, co-founder of <em data-start=\"510\" data-end=\"526\">The Free Press<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"531\" data-end=\"1275\">Sources told <em data-start=\"544\" data-end=\"552\">Status<\/em>\u2019s <strong data-start=\"555\" data-end=\"571\">Oliver Darcy<\/strong> that Weiss has been quietly evaluating both internal and external candidates for CBS\u2019s flagship evening broadcast. While current anchors <strong data-start=\"709\" data-end=\"728\">Norah O\u2019Donnell<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"733\" data-end=\"750\">Tony Dokoupil<\/strong> remain in contention, Weiss has expressed particular interest in <strong data-start=\"816\" data-end=\"825\">Baier<\/strong>, one of Fox News\u2019s most respected journalists. However, Baier, who earns roughly <strong data-start=\"907\" data-end=\"931\">$14 million annually<\/strong>, renewed his Fox contract in 2023, extending it through 2028\u2014making a move to CBS highly improbable. This is not Weiss\u2019s first attempt to recruit a Fox personality; she previously sought to include <strong data-start=\"1130\" data-end=\"1145\">Mike Pompeo<\/strong>, a Fox News contributor, in a CBS panel featuring former secretaries of state, though Fox ultimately blocked his participation.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1277\" data-end=\"1953\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Weiss\u2019s appointment as CBS News editor-in-chief, following <strong data-start=\"1336\" data-end=\"1381\">Paramount\u2019s acquisition of The Free Press<\/strong>, has divided staff and industry observers. Critics cite her limited broadcast experience and her outspoken views, particularly her pro-Israel stance. A CBS insider described the newsroom\u2019s tension as split between younger, more progressive employees and older staff nostalgic for the Walter Cronkite era. Still, many within the network see Weiss\u2019s leadership as a needed shake-up. \u201cWe probably needed a course correction,\u201d one insider said, noting CBS\u2019s consistent third-place ratings behind ABC and NBC. \u201cAs a third-place network, you\u2019d think we\u2019d be open to new ideas.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"z-0 flex min-h-[46px] justify-start\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div class=\"pointer-events-none h-px w-px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-edge=\"true\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss is reportedly exploring the idea of bringing Fox News anchor Bret Baier to lead the CBS Evening News, according to multiple network&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2084,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2083","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.5 -
